ECOTEAS Unsmoked Yerba Mate
Yerba mate is a stimulating herbal tea from South America, brewed from the leaves and stems of a subtropical tree in the holly family.
Why Switch to Yerba Mate:
- Sustained energy: Delivers an energizing lift that many people find easier on their systems.
- Nutrient-rich: Balances naturally occurring caffeine with B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Whole-body boost: Elevates metabolism, mood, and mental clarity.
- Can be tailored to specific needs: Yerba mate tea bags provide ~25 mg caffeine per serving, similar to green tea. To increase strength, simply brew loose yerba mate like coffee.
- Easy to make: Yerba mate can be brewed in a French press, espresso-maker, or percolator. Tea bags are even simpler. For a more authentic experience, sip yerba mate through a traditional filter-tipped straw called a bombilla.
The ECOTEAS Difference: We work in partnership with a five-generation organic family farm in Argentina to provide unsmoked yerba mate—dried with warm air instead of smoke for a lighter, cleaner taste.
Thanks for stopping by! We hope ECOTEAS Yerba Mate becomes a healthful, delicious addition to your day.
Sincerely,
The ECOTEAS Team
Why Organic Yerba Mate?
We get it—organic yerba mate costs more.
Does it make a difference? Absolutely!
Most conventional yerba mate farms use herbicides to control weeds, and chemical fertilizers to boost productivity.
These chemicals pollute the soil, air, and creeks. They expose workers and communities to harmful long-term effects.
And they coat the yerba mate leaves, eventually ending up in your cup.
Our farm partners control weeds the old fashioned way—with hard work, sharp machetes, and care for the land they love.
They maintain soil productivity with mulching, intercropping, and reforestation.
Yes, organic yerba mate costs more. But we think it's worth it, and we hope you do, too!
Let's raise our mate cups to an organic future for everyone.
Why Unsmoked Yerba Mate?
Smoky. Bitter.
We've all heard the complaints from friends and family.
"Yerba mate is an acquired taste," we're quick to reassure them.
But what if it doesn't have to be? What if the first sip of yerba mate is smooth, clean and robust, as satisfying as it is energizing?
If you haven't tried our unsmoked yerba mate yet, you're in for a treat. All the clean energy, no smoky aftertaste.
Maybe you love that smoky flavor, reminding you of travels to Buenos Aires and Patagonia.
Still, you may want to give our unsmoked yerba mate a try.
Smoke byproducts aren't ideal for long-term consumption.
